Miss Berg and Miss Kemp NE sunshiny September day, we, the Class of '38 entered the massive portals of our beloved High School, 120 strong, to be dubbed as the 'ctiny seventh gradersf, After our many trials and tribulations were over, such as finding the right rooms, and becoming acquainted with the halls, etc., we were permitted to organize. Our capable officers for that year were: President, Shirley Abelsong Vice-President, Jimmie Martzg Secretary, Luther Conrad, and'Treasurer, Marjorie Suter. Our advisers were Miss Sarah Noss and Mr. Richard Mentzer. So ended the 1932-33 school term. The next term found us one more year nearer our goal, this time as eighth graders, with several new pupils, who had been added to our aggres- sive class. Nothing of great importance happened during this year. We did find, however, that our duties and classes were becoming more diiiicult. Our class officers for this term were: President, Shirley Abelsong Vice- President, Luther Conradg Secretary, Marjorie Suterg and Treasurer, Dorcas Page Thirty-six

JUNIOR BOYS we felt very important as we occupied the front seats in chapel during Junior Assembly. We had to make a very important decision that year, namely what our ambitions were and what we wanted to do or be when our high school education is finished. It was necessary to know this in order to take the proper course of high school training. We made these decisions as wisely as possible with the aid of our teachers and parents. In '34 we assumed what seemed a more or less sophisticated role to us. We became Sophomores. This year, like those before, brought a change in subjects. How can we ever forget the dread and fear of going to Geometry class? Juniors!--How much more important this name seems than any of the preceding ones. The Junior, Senior Prom was the big social event of the year. In fact it was our first social event because, due to the lack of funds in other years, we had never had a party. It might be well worth mentioning that the students of the Junior Class have always been active and well represented in the activities of the school including football, basket-ball, track, music, art, debating, dramatics, and journalism. Now, as we leave our Junior year behind, we look forward to next year when we shall be Seniors and far more distinguished and important than ever before. - Page Thirty-Eve

SOPHOMORE BOYS Heistg Advisers, Miss Zoe Olla Wilt and Miss Grace Fitts, who were very efficient in guiding our class. As ninth graders, we totaled 250, occupying rooms 4, 5, 103, 104, and 105. This year proved to be our banner year, since we were now f ull-pledged Senior High School members. We were permitted to have our first class party, which was a great success in every way. How proud we were! Our subjects took on a new angle, for this year we had to choose the particular course we intended to pursue. Fred Ratowsky was chosen as our leader for '34 and ,353 with Shirley Abelson as Vice-President, Jeanne Fries as Secretary, and Williaxn Goodfellow as Treasurer. Our advisers were Miss Marie Ammon and Miss Margery Reed. And now we were Sophomores! How proud we were to enter this grade for it brought us nearer yet to our upper classmenl Each year, however, seemed to bring new faces to our class. This term we had our second class party and made it a greater success than our freshie party. We were well represented on the football squad, orchestra, a11d other curricular activities. And now the completion of our Sophomore year finds us a lot wiser in the ways of the world, for we fought with Caesar in his Gallic Wars, and at last, we can prove to you that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points!
